INNISJURA (POSSIBLY)

Let's be clear: this site is often *called* the Innisjura, but its true identity remains a bit of a Scapa mystery. Whatever its name, we love this wreck for its approachable depth and the sheer amount of character packed into its 22.6-meter frame. Dropping down, you'll land on a surprisingly intact little motor vessel, often surrounded by a swirling soup of small fish. What makes it special for us is the way the light filters through the shallower parts, illuminating the dense covering of plumose anemones and dead man's fingers. You can easily spend a whole dive nosing around the engine room, peeking into the holds, and trying to trace the path of those infamous telegraph poles. It’s a fantastic dive for newer wreck enthusiasts in Scapa, offering plenty to see without the overwhelming scale of the German High Seas Fleet giants. Just be ready for the typical Orkney chill, even in summer.
